Alphabet Football: The B&W Show

The English Premier League is entering its final phase, and as it stands, it looks like this:


Pos

Blackpool

West Ham

Wolves

Wigan

27

That's a lot of teams beginning with "W" currently propping up the table, and a lot of teams beginning with "B" sitting nervously above them.

If it were to remain as it stands, the bottom 3 would be the same bottom 3 that were there at the start of the season when the teams were listed alphabetically.  If things are to be resolved alphabetically, this must give great heart at the other end of the table to Arsenal fans.

The only team missing from the alphabetical tussle at the foot of the table are Bolton Wanderers, who are doing very nicely thank you, in 7th spot. 

This is a shame, from a purely lexical point of view, as they'd potentially qualify as either a "B" or a "W" when taking their full name into consideration.  On that basis, I'd also be worried about what the future holds if I was a "W"est "B"rom fan.
